ENGINE & HOSE COMPANY 1
Engine & Hose Company #1 was an original Company formed within the Department when the ‘Central Islip Hook & Ladder & Chemical Engine Company #1’ was disbanded and reorganized as the ‘Central Islip Fire Department’ on May 6, 1929. Membership at the time consisted of 15 members until it was increased to 20 on May 6, 1925. This eventually increased to 25 members, not including Senior Active Members with 20 or more years of service.
Engine & Hose Company #1 was originally assigned to the Truck House on East Suffolk Avenue. With the completion of the new Fire House on Carleton Avenue in 1937, the Company was moved to this location, and then to the new Headquarters building when it was completed in 1991.
The first ‘Foreman’ of the Company was Henry Wolf, Sr. with Robert Wohlfarth serving as Assistant Foreman. It is unclear who served as additional ‘Foremen’ for the first few years of the Company’s existence. The title of Foreman and Assistant Foreman was changed to that of Captain and Lieutenants for all Companies as of the December 4, 1933 Department Meeting.
